Yurmamana is being developed as an Ecological Art Center under the leadership of Norma Gladys Zevallos Chavez, a plastic artist that lives and dreams with the images,colors and visions of the Amazonian cosmos.

We are in the process of building The Yurmamana Ecological Art Center, when the Project is completed we will offer courses and Workshops with Natural Pigments obtained from seeds, fruits, leaves, barks,resins and colored soils.

In February 2016 we started a Children Art School for the Manacamiri Community. The children are taught to use natural pigments. The program takes place on Saturdays and includes classes, materials and lunch at not cost to the community.

We welcome to Yurmamana to any person interested to visit or participate in daily workshops using natural pigments.

Please contact Gladys by e-mail (gladys.zevallos@yurmamana.com) if you wish to donate to the Children Art School or to visit Yurmamana.

Promote, develop and
practice the art of painting the images of the Amazonian cosmos using natural
pigments from the resin and bark of the trees, the pigments from the plants,
flowers and fruits from the Amazon region.
